Bridge CS2 InDesign Contact Sheets

[MelSchultz]

I create Contact Sheets in InDesign through Bridge (CS2) for EPS files many times a day. To get the EPS files to import to the contact sheet I have to add the file type to the File Type Filter (under Files...) every time I create a contact sheet. Is there a way of changing the script so that the EPS files will automatically be included in the File Type Filter? I have no experience with scripting and am having a hard time finding information on this topic.

Thanks for any help you can offer!

Melissa,

Open up AdobeScriptLibrary1.jsx in a text editor (Adobe's ESTK is a great one for editing scripts).

Look at around line 368 or search for:

TYPES.DEFAULT_CONTACTSHEET

you should see a line like:

TYPES.DEFAULT_CONTACTSHEET = "JPG,JPEG,TIF,TIFF,GIF,AI,PSD,PDF,";

Just add eps, epsf to the list.

TYPES.DEFAULT_CONTACTSHEET = "JPG,JPEG,TIF,TIFF,GIF,AI,PSD,PDF,EPS,EPSF";

Then restart bridge.

That will do it for you.

That worked great! Thank you so much for the help and quick response.

I also have the above problem, however, I'm unable to locate 'AdobeScriptLibrary1.jsx' on my Mac. I'm using Mac OSX 10.4.11.

Is there any hope for me?
